This isn’t the first time the NFL has tried to profit off photos of plays for which players were fined. In 2010 the league also sold pictures of a James Harrison hit on Mohamed Massaquoi and a Brandon Meriweather hit on Todd Heap, even though Harrison and Meriweather had been fined for those very hits.

It’s hypocritical, obviously, of the NFL to do that. Maybe Lynch will have something to say about the NFL’s hypocrisy at Super Bowl Media Day. But probably not.

In a sport where you are wearing a $400 helmet to protect your head, but graze your thumb on the helmet & its “roughing – blow to the head” the nfl might as well not sell ANY highlight films. Apparently there’s a penalty on every play.

Typical NFL. Let the cheats cheat without consequence. Threaten to bar a guy from playing because the color of his cleats. Let guys domestically abuse their partners with no punishment(until the public is up in arms)

I call BS, they look to squeeze every buck out of fans. Hypocrisy in this league has reached an all time high.

You are wrong on one thing… they have not reached an all time high. They can and will go a lot higher.

The ref will announce…”this holding penalty is brought to you by Dannon, the official yogurt of the nfl.” And just wait until they start fining players for the minor penalties… $2500 for offsides, $5000 for pass interference. Don’t laugh, they aren’t far off.

The money grab league. Thats why Goodell gets 30 million dollar bonus. Dude is a straight money grab puppet. Fan experience is never taken in consideration. Neither is safety. They cause drama like deflategate beause it drew more interest to the NFL and they will profit an extra 4 million come Super Bowl time. Micromanagement on a crazy level. Money is of importance, me and you and the players are not.

How is it that the NFL with all it’s resources and power keep screwing everything up? As a Seahawks fan I’m going to devour all the coverage this week while I get ready for an epic party this weekend with friends and family this Sunday. But if my team wasn’t in it I’d still watch but be a little turned off by the league. You have obvious rule benders with the pats. And the Seahawks have a way of rubbing other fans the wrong way. But us hawk fans love the way they act. When it’s your team it’s fun to watch these guys with their brash attitude and fast and physical play. To bad for everyone else were having a blast I guess.

All this complaining and whining about the NFL and Goodell. It seems that is all people do nowadays is bitch and complain. If it bothers you so much, stop paying it any attention and move on to something else. Just quit your whining.

What a complete and total disgrace. My appetite for this crap is waning. His actions “ruin the integrity and honor of the game” but selling pics of this behavior is ok, until its a news story with negative reaction. Oh well, there goes the money for a new set of kneepads for Goodell.

Any person with an internet connection and a Kinko’s, Staples, or other office supplies store nearby could do this entire thing himself for less than $20, frame included. I’m all for people spending their own money as they see fit, but if you’re shelling out $150 for a collection of photos for the sake of “authenticity,” you’re a sucker.

This was another wily trap by Roger Goodell in hopes that someone associated with the Seahawks might buy one, and he could fine the team $10 million and a first round draft pick for encouraging Lynch to illegally celebrate TDs. Masterful.

Do people actually think Goodell handles low level marketing stuff like which photos to sell? I don’t know if some people understand how businesses work. CEOs have bigger things to do than this. This was some entry level guy whose middle manager signed off on it.

In the NFL…its all about the money……as they do not care what they sell to make a profit nor about the product they put on the field. Sooner or later, every NFL game will be broadcast on Espn networks because of more profit and when they do, then a lot of NFL fans will quit watching the game because of ridiculous costs and corporate greed. The NFL is certainly not immune here. It is hypocritical to fine Marshawn Lynch for a violation and sell photos of that violation. There is no integrity in the NFL at present with Roger Goodell at the helm of the business. Fans are not stupid and they can see the writing on the wall and maybe Mark Cuban was right is that the NFL will become a victim of its own success.

All this complaining and whining about the NFL and Goodell. It seems that is all people do nowadays is bitch and complain. If it bothers you so much, stop paying it any attention and move on to something else. Just quit your whining.

This is how you know a product is engrained in the American culture. People complain but they can’t stop. Most are addicted and the NFL loves it.

This is Greedell taking “a hit” for the league, deflecting attention away from the latest cheating scandal of his puppet master Robert Graft. Greedell has hoards of public relation people whose job is to distort the truth, dole out misinformation and discredit anyone or anything that threatens to lower the NFLs bottom line by so much as a dollar (a large portion of these people are sometimes identified as the ‘4-letter’ network, but all the networks are pockets of Graft and his ceaselessly greedy cohorts.

And that is the thing, there are way too many suckers out there that keep buying into this watered down product. And yes it has been watered down. I hope Seahawk fans have more sense than that, but that is another topic for conversation. I used to go watch Ravens and Redskins games at least 3-4 games a year, not anymore, besides it is too freaking expensive

They did the same thing selling Sean Taylor slobberknocker posters all the while imposing concussion protocols for the safety of the players. They talk out of both sides of their mouth and anything they say now about the “integrity of the game” rings hollow in my ears.
